Urban Cowboy-Girl

Upon seeing this outfit James was all, “You look like a cowboy-girl.” Naturally this led me to ponder the meaning of this carefully selected term (because I’m pretty convinced that when people talk to me they carefully select their words… I may be deluded here). I mean what is the difference between a cowboy-girl and a cowgirl? I’m tempted to believe that a cowboy-girl is more of a cowboy groupie, one who gets a little bit country for her man. A cowgirl proper is country and hardy all on her own.

Ultimately he was saying I was a hanger-on. So: insult!

That’s just a little glimpse into the female mind for y’all.

Speaking of y’all, I recently caught an episode of Paula Deen where she was cooking with Jimmy Carter and I must deem it the best Paula Deen episode of them all. Most people would address a former president of the United States of America as ‘Mr. President’. Not Paula. The laws of the world and physics and coronary circulation don’t apply to this woman. She referred to him as ‘Mr. Jimmy’ and I’m pretty sure she is the only human being who can pull that off.

I think I’m going to start referring to James as ‘Mr. Jimmy’ in a nice southern accent. I’m sure he will find that hilarious. I know I will.
